M-street Posted July 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) First series of street portraits, shot in June 2011. I shot a similar series of portraits in Derby earlier this year, for the Magnum Workshop with Bruce Gilden. I've tried to continue this series, this time in NY. I feel that I need to add bit more characters, so I plan on coming back to wrap up this series, hopefully with a bit more varied set as a result. But, for now, here's a selection of the portraits I shot this year: (M9 / Noctilux f/1.0) 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-street Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted July 19, 2011 I got a couple more that I haven't uploaded yet (haven't decided if I plan on showing them or not) and there's a couple more on flickr, but I think these are the best ones so far. There's some clipped highlights that I hope you can bear, made a bit worse by my rough processing I'll do a second round of more thourough work on these when I feel I got a complete series. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted July 19, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 19, 2011 M - Largely a terrific set, though I long for some sharpening with #1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted July 20, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 20, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Renze, I much enjoyed these portraits. Your straight ahead approach helps to bring out the uniqueness in each frame. Excellent processing and rich tones help to tell their stories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holybasil Posted July 20, 2011 Share #11 Posted July 20, 2011 Lovely. The 4th one has a great tattoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-street Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share #12 Posted July 20, 2011 Guys, thanks for the nice words. I agree that n#1 seems kind of soft, to be honest they're all made with the same setting, so I think there's just a bit too much shadow in that shot that gives it a bit less 'pop' than some of the others. I definitely have my favorites, so depending on what I shoot next time I'm there, I will change some of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted July 20, 2011 Share #13 Posted July 20, 2011 Great, great work, some of the portraits are totally gorgeous. Are you asking them before shooting? Just ask for a portrait or something more? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted July 20, 2011 Share #14 Posted July 20, 2011 Lovely. The 4th one has a great tattoo. Her face is even better. Maybe the one I prefer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aesop Posted July 20, 2011 Share #17 Posted July 20, 2011 ...these images are simply stunning, Renze - the composition, tones and tonality are "just right". Question - re: depth of field, is it strictly down to the lens (and your pre-processing skills) or is there a degree of PP involved? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
